We do not develop anything with one giant step. No matter who you are, or what you do, each one of us had had to take a lot of individual steps to accomplish a task, a job, a career, or even a hobby. Each step serves to move us forward even if it is an inch at a time.

people think are of no serious use.

these definitions have to do with what you earn a living from.

skiing, bowling, or building model planes.

Find a way to relax that takes you to a joyful level,
a level that quits the nerves and allows thoughts to be calm.

one that brings you satisfaction and one that thoroughly involves your mind in something different than that which you do for work, or is a necessity.
Byron Pulsifer, The Tonic Of LifeRelax

you do for a living, or have as a hobby. It is to look at who you are,

on a Saturday morning even though you have no need to rise early.
Byron Pulsifer, Do You Dare Being Yourself

with meetings, exchanges of one kind or another, we need to apportion
those hours with time for our children, our lovers, our thoughts,
our hobbies, our true selves.

There are two categories of people who need hobbies - sick people
and well people. Hobbies are good cures for self-pity, idleness and
loneliness - three great enemies of convalescents. For well people, hobbies are a preventive against
overfatigue and many kinds of nervous ailments. In addition,
oldsters who feel their usefulness slipping away may find they
can continue to serve and possibly to earn by means of a hobby.
Running a magazine
stand or operating a small vegetable garden may keep a man
in his seventies on his feet for years to come. Hobbies and long
life go together. An avocation is good medicine for young and old.
